How to play Wordle and improve your guesses
Wordle is a five-letter word game built around deduction. Each guess gives you clues about the hidden answer, helping you narrow the possibilities one row at a time.
Understand the tile colors
A green tile means the letter is correct and in the right position. Yellow means the letter appears in the answer but belongs somewhere else. Gray means that letter is not available in the answer, subject to the game's repeated-letter rules.
Choose a useful first word
A strong opening guess tests common letters and gives you information. Words with a mix of frequent vowels and consonants can help reveal the shape of the answer. There is no single starting word that guarantees a solve.
Use every guess as evidence
Keep green letters fixed, move yellow letters to new positions, and avoid reusing letters that feedback has ruled out. Before submitting, check that your next guess respects every clue from earlier rows.
Watch for repeated letters
The answer may use a letter more than once. A yellow or gray result does not always mean every copy of that letter is absent; feedback also reflects how many times the letter occurs in the solution.
Plan your second guess
If your opening word shows no green or yellow tiles, use the second guess to test five new letters instead of repeating ones that are already ruled out. Stuck on the pattern? The Word Finder lists every five-letter word that still fits.
